Guide, of whicht-he followin ,speci fication. I r;

This nvention appertaans to novel means for reventing Wear on the sucker rod and: e 'well casing and the primary-object of the invention is to prov de a novel guide,

whichcan be readily plec'edu'pon the sucker rod within minimum amount-of labor, and

which will eflectively forrn a guicle-for the sucker rod and prevent undue wear thereon Another prime object of the invention is to proyi le' .e'guide fOISUGkeI rods embody- 'ing nl'twd-part body-and novel means for clamping the partstogether on the sucker. rod, thel 'purts of the body having means for permittingthe flow of fluid past the same and around the sucker rod.

.{A further pri Object of the sections" of the guide together,' wherehy accidental movement OfihGSQ' SBCiIOHS will be eliminzited'ielativeto one another, said.

8 connecting means perrpi ting the quick placin and removing of the guide on the sucker ro i 1 A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved sucker rod guide of the above character, which will he durable ehdeificient in use, onethat will be simple and easy to manufacture. and one which can laced upon the market and incorporated with a sucker rod at a small cost.

9 With these and other objects in view, the

inventionconsists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will hie-hereinafter more specifically described,- "claimed and illu'etrated in thenccompanyin'g drawings,- in which drawings:

Figure 1 is a slide elevation f the improved guide showing the same attached to a sucker rod.

Figure 2 is a detail section taken on the in .line 2-2 of Figure 1 illustrating the means e loyed for connecting the sections ot' the genre 3 1s a horizontal section taken on the line 3-3 illustrating the cross sectional sucxnnnon coins."

olt as: i v

- FIhe-guideA is preferably formed of wood,

iron and steel 19 and onthe-fmner surfaceof the'well casing.

p the invention is to provide novel means for connecting p *atively Wide grooves 13 which provide means ietiori of the bodyportion of the e 4 is detail perspective view of 'one section of the improved guide.

Referring. tov the drawings in detail,- wherein similar reference clieractei's de.signate corresponding. parts throughout the several ,views, the letter A generally indicatestl e improved guide, for a sucker rod- B, which can be of any preferred type or asthis is the ,i'naterial which I found "through nctiiel jexperiment to be the best suited for the purpose intended theuse of B 1 in with" longitudinally extendingv rel-- 9 for permitting-the passageof the fluid be? tween the guide and the well casing. .C," which is shown in dotted lines in re 1- of the drawings; e. 86

In order to facilitate ofi ectlon- If the guide. A with the sucker rodB],the-body 10 is divided longitudinallyeto p (15 5a of companion sections 15 Made-.18 provided with'axialsemicylindri l to provide the axiel wey 11f, Y3 It is obvious that-:the'se 'seotifli fl'. n. readily placed around a sucker rod'in view of the fact that one section can be placed on 0 13; side, and the other'section-on the other s1 e. c w

- In order to hol the sections15 and 16 in clamping osithin on the sucker rod B, I; employ sli in ierrules 18a-nd 19, which are adapted to sip over. the .tapere'duredu'ced terminals 11 of thebody- 10. In view of the i fact that these terminals 11 are-gradually sections into intnnate contact with the sucker rod. Y a

In order to prevent the slipping of these -ing provided with external longitudinal through the shoulders at-the ferrules 18 and 19 on the parts 11 I employ a pin 20, wliichean be extended through the ferrules and into said terminals 11.

hat I claim as new is:

1. A guide for sucker rods comprising a cylindrical body having a longitudinal bore intersecting: the ends of the body" said body having, reduced end portions with annular --shoulders at the bases of the reduced end portions and clamping means embracing the respective reduced end portions of the body for drawing said end portions into engage-' ment with a sucker rod, the 1na or diameter.

of the body between its ends exceeding that of the clampingmeuns, andsaid body-bechannels-having their. opposite ends opening reduced end portions.

2; A guide for sucker rods comprising a cylindrical body having a longitudinal bore intersecting, its opposite .ends. said body having reduced and'tapercd end portions 'u'ith annular shoulders at the-bases of the ers at the. bases oi the rediwed end portions and outside olitheclamping devices. i
